<p>What kind of sick question is that?!
What did you people come up with? My Sundays are so uneventful. And how long does it have to be…? I’m confused.</p>
<p>It is a sick question. Nevertheless, it is also a good opportunity to make yourself stand out. I’m having a hard time remembering what I wrote about, but I’m sure it was…well…imaginative. Stick with the word limit and say as much as you mean in the least amount of words.</p>
<p>Do you ever volunteer or play sports or anything like that on Sundays? you could write about that</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p><em>sad face</em></p>
<p>I’m sure the adcom doesn’t expect you to do anything momentous…just write about something…</p>
<p>Whatever you do, don’t embellish. Just keep it simple and to the point. If something extraordinary happened, feel free to mention it; just don’t start including random $hit in there to make you look better.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted!</p>
<p>lmao…</p>
<p>Did you really write that? And did you really watch Mad Money for 4 hours? That’s intense.</p>
<p>Come to think of it, I still haven’t started my college essay. <em>gasp</em> It’s so friggin’ hard to write about yourself! Ugggh. For example I had a perfect story that influenced me to be a doctor, expect that I decided not to do pre-med anymore.</p>
<p>Jim Cramer is a madman. His voice is so damn abrasive.</p>
<p>This was the easiest of the short answer questions for me. I just wrote what I actually did last Sunday, no frills.</p>
<p>and you were able to stretch it to 750 characters?</p>
<p>750 characters is nothing. I actually had to cut my answer down before I was able to submit it.</p>
<p>why is it that on my online app, I only had 500 char</p>
<p>That was actually one of my favorite short answers to write, but probably just because the answer came easily. I had actually just had a kick-ass Sunday a few weeks prior: I had a father-daughter bonding day in San Francisco, saw the Blue Angels (Army jets who do an awesome show, diving under the Golden Gate Bridge, etc.), and then went to a fondue restaurant for my eighteenth bday. :p</p>
<p>The one that initially stumped me was “besides New York, why NYU?” – it’s so hard to articulate exactly why I love a school…</p>
<p>My advice for that kind of question is to examine academic fit.</p>
<p>Thanks – I actually wrote it already, and I definitely included academic fit, as well as internships, ability to take different courses, etc.</p>
<p>But I’ll keep that in mind as I tackle the last few “why school x?” questions before I’m finally finished with this whole process :p</p>
<p>Ps. I’d appreciate feedback on that. haha</p>
<p>Don’t post your essay. You don’t want it flying around in public.</p>
